The specific protocol work items area listed in the Goals and Milestones section below. Additional work items will require rechartering. Goals and Milestones: Done Gather operational experience with the OSPF protocol and submit the document as an Informational RFC. Done Develop multiple implementations, and test against each other. Done Design the routing protocol, and write its specification. Done Obtain performance data for the protocol. Done Make changes to the specification (if necessary) and publish the protocol as a Draft Standard RFC. Done Submit OSPF for IPv6 to IESG for consideration as a Standard. Done Update the OSPF NSSA option specified in RFC 1587 and submit to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Done Develop Traffic Engineering extensions for OSPFv2 and submit it to the IESG as a Proposed Standard Done Submit to IESG a document which updates RFC 1793 allowing detection of demand circuit neighbors whose OSPF process has exited. Done Submit to IESG a BCP advocating that OSPF LSA refreshes be spread out over time Done Develop a hitless restart mechanism for OSPF and submit it to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. Done Document Alternative ABR implementations and submit ti IESG as an Informational RFC Nov 2003 Develop OSPF for IPv6 MIB and submit to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Nov 2003 Extend the hitless restart mechanism to OSPFv3 and submit it to the IESG as a Proposed Standard Nov 2003 Develop Traffic Engineering extensions for OSPFv3 and submit it to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. Nov 2003 Submit to IESG a BCP advocating that OSPF Hellos be given preference over other OSPF control traffic. Nov 2003 Update OSPFv2 MIB and submit to IESG as a Standard, replacing RFC 1850 Nov 2003 Specify IPSEC usage with OSPFv3 and submit to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Nov 2000 Jan 2007 OSPF Link-local Signaling Apr 2003 Jan 2007 Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF version 3 Jul 2003 Feb 2007 Extensions to OSPF for Advertising Optional Router Capabilities Apr 2004 Apr 2007 Support of address families in OSPFv3 Apr 2004 Mar 2007 OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency Oct 2004 Jan 2007 Multi-Topology (MT) Routing in OSPF Oct 2004 May 2006 OSPFv3 Graceful Restart Nov 2004 Dec 2006 OSPF for IPv6 Apr 2005 Mar 2007 IANA Considerations for OSPF Apr 2005 Apr 2007 Multi-topology routing in OSPFv3 (MT-OSPFv3) Dec 2006 Dec 2006 The OSPF Opaque LSA Option Jan 2007 Apr 2007 OSPF Database Exchange Summary List Optimization Jan 2007 Jan 2007 OSPF Version 2 MIB for Multi-Topology (MT) Routing Apr 2007 Apr 2007 OSPF HMAC-SHA Cryptographic Authentication Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC1131 PS Oct 1989 OSPF specification RFC1247 DS Aug 1991 OSPF Version 2 RFC1248 PS Aug 1991 OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base RFC1245 I Aug 1991 OSPF Protocol Analysis RFC1246 I Aug 1991 Experience with the OSPF Protocol RFC1252 PS Aug 1991 OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base RFC1253 PS Aug 1991 OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base RFC1583 DS Mar 1994 OSPF Version 2 RFC1587 PS Mar 1994 The OSPF NSSA Option RFC1586 I Mar 1994 Guidelines for Running OSPF Over Frame Relay Networks RFC1765 E Mar 1995 OSPF Database Overflow RFC1793 PS Apr 1995 Extending OSPF to Support Demand Circuits RFC1850 DS Nov 1995 OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base RFC2096 PS Jan 1997 IP Forwarding Table MIB RFC2178 DS Jul 1997 OSPF Version 2 RFC2329 I Apr 1998 OSPF Standardization Report RFC2328Standard Apr 1998 OSPF Version 2 RFC2370 PS Jul 1998 The OSPF Opaque LSA Option RFC2740 PS Dec 1999 OSPF for IPv6 RFC2844 E Jun 2000 OSPF over ATM and Proxy PAR RFC3137 I Jul 2001 OSPF Stub Router Advertisement RFC3101 PS Jan 2003 The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option RFC3509 I Apr 2003 Alternative Implementations of OSPF Area Border Routers RFC3630 PS Oct 2003 Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2 RFC3623Standard Nov 2003 Graceful OSPF Restart RFC3883Standard Oct 2004 Detecting Inactive Neighbors over OSPF Demand Circuits RFC4136 I Aug 2005 OSPF Refresh and Flooding Reduction in Stable Topologies RFC4167 I Oct 2005 Graceful OSPF Restart Implementation Report RFC4222BCP Oct 2005 Prioritized Treatment of Specific OSPF Version 2 Packets and Congestion Avoidance RFC4552 PS Jun 2006 Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPFv3 RFC4576 PS Jun 2006 Using a Link State Advertisement (LSA) Options Bit to Prevent Looping in BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) RFC4750 PS Dec 2006 OSPF Version 2 Management Information Base
